    yup


    it will be interesting to see what kind of revenue projections they would have for a potential Berto-PAC fight...the die-hard will definitely tune in and pay to watch...however, Berto isn't really a household name...Arum would have to dig into those pockets to give PAC a good guarantee and he would have to eat the losses if the fight doesn't sell AS much


    as for the actual matchup, it would seem like a move strictly based on 'challenge' as he takes on the younger fighter but im not sure if Berto will fare any better than Shane....Berto is a fighter with stamina issues and is a sucker for straight lefts...not a good trait when going into a mega fight with PAC

      Berto not being a household name is an understatement. He's been getting paid good money to fight mostly no hopers down there. I watched the HBO show with two friends who were casual fans (one is a UFC fan). One barely knew who he was and one had no idea.

      Doesn't mean he's not worthy because he's probably my top or 2nd choice for Pac's next opponent. But I can see the business side of it.

        actually no, and its not HATE, I dont hate on Manny...i question alot of his decisions as I do other boxers. But wheres the FACTUL evidence that Manny or anyone from TEAM Pac said they are considering Berto. Bertos own trainor has mentioned that HE HIMSELF NEVER EVER felt that Bob Arum was seriously considering a fight with the YOUNG/Undefeated champion that isnt 40.

        YOU FAIL!

            Ok? Cong****? No factual evidence he's considering Berto so he must be a cherry picking ***** who's recent victories are all farces right? And why is your typing bold? Do you need more attention or something? Jesus go kill yourself.

              kudos to manny for this--he has my support on this if he's really serious--berto is undefeated, and he will put up a better fight imo than shane---

                he's being heavily considered bro...a couple of people i know that are associated with PAC's team has mentioned Berto on more than a couple of occasions...i personally didn't believe it but i think there's a real conflict between Arum and PAC's choices at the moment

                    Yeah I don't disagree with you. I WANT Pac to fight Berto. And I think Pac has enough pull on his own these days to make any event a 'success.'

                    It's just difficult to ignore that he'd be a much tougher sell even though he's the bigger threat to Pac than Mosley at this point.
